Install tile over laminate countertop and backsplash step 1.
Tiling a kitchen countertop over laminate.
Luckily layering laminate makes very little difference in height.
Do this in sections.
If the countertop is delaminating in areas the tile will not hold.
Use contact cement to reapply the laminate so that it firmly sticks to the mdf.
Mix the thinset in a large bucket and spread it about 1 8 inch thick over the entire laminate surface.
Begin placing the tile from the center of the counter out pressing back and forth and side to side on each tile to secure the thinset.
Use a trowel to create beads all through the adhesive.
To make things worse there was about a half inch mud bed under the top layer.
Tiling apply the base layer of the mortar on the ditra in a v or w pattern.
While the point of installing tile over laminate is to cover up the poor laminate there is a limit as to how bad that laminate can be.
Then butter the back of the tile.
Remove the stove from the kitchen by taking out the bottom drawer and placing the feet on top of a blanket so.
When we had our old tile countertop torn out in the kitchen we saw that someone had laid the tile over a previous layer of tile.
